Early Paparazzi photographs of Brigitte Bardot

The Cigarette (Bardot on the set of Le Mepris), 1963.

Tazio Secchiaroli was an Italian photographer known for being the ‘designated
leader of the pack’ of the original paparazzi and subsequently a model for
the character ‘Paparazzo’ in Federico Fellini's film ''La Dolce Vita.”
Believing a picture is a stolen moment from life; he wanted his photos full
of action and in defense of his aggressive photographic style, he has said,
“the day photographers will no longer be after you, you’ll be after them!”
